The School of Art diploma and undergraduate studio programs emphasize contemporary research in creative practices in art, design and art history. Students engage in one-on-one dialogue, group critiques, experiential learning and technical demonstrations, exhibition tours, visiting artists’ lectures, field trips, and more, creating a lively studio culture.
As a School of Art student, students have the option to pursue a multidisciplinary focus, or they can choose to emphasize one or more of these media specializations:
- ceramics
- drawing
- graphic design
- painting
- performance
- photography
- print media
- sculpture
- video
Students gain a thorough understanding of the technical and formal aspects of photography and have access to photographic equipment, black and white and colour darkrooms, digital editing labs, and professional digital printing facilities. In advanced studios, students have the opportunity to further develop their personal imagery while gaining critical insight into historical and contemporary photographic practices.
